<!--Add your intro here-->
{{Resolved/mini|res| Consensus was reached for the adoption of the [[The Sims Wiki:Image and file policy|image and file policy]], and it has entered into force. -- 03:05, December 16, 2012 (UTC)}}
__TOC__
I happened upon [[w:c:Community:User_blog:Semanticdrifter/Understanding_Fair_Use|this staff blog on Community Central]], discussing the use of Fair Use as it relates to uploading copyrighted works (mainly images) to wikis. In reading this article I realized that our wiki has very little, if anything, as far as formal standards regarding what is acceptable to upload here, and any action we may take in situations where uploads violate copyright. This blog post wasn't when I first realized this, but it is now spurring me to start this discussion.
Line 81 ⟶ 82:
{{VoteFor}} Meh, admittedly I'm a bit lazy to add the copyrights. But hey, what's a little effort gonna hurt? I'm up for this! [[User:Bayoubash|Bayoubash]] [[User:Bayoubash|Bayoubash]] ([[User talk:Bayoubash|talk]]) 17:38, December 15, 2012 (UTC){{clr}}
{{VoteFor}} - Well, I did propose it, but I suppose it's still good to weigh in. -- '''[[User:LostInRiverview|<font color="navy">LiR</font>]]<sup> [[User_talk:LostInRiverview|<font color="green">speak</font>]] ~ [[User_blog:LostInRiverview|<font color="green">read</font>]]</sup>''' 02:58, December 16, 2012 (UTC){{clr}}
==Conclusion==
In a three day period, there were 20 responses. Even if the response to this had been more mixed, twenty responses is still amazing! I'd like to extend a special thank you to everyone who came here and gave feedback.
Out of twenty responses, all were in support of the policy.This constitutes sufficient (and overwhelming) consensus to approve the policy. As such, the [[The Sims Wiki:Image and file policy|Image and File Policy]] is now in effect. The proper changes will be made to organizational templates, policy pages, etc in the coming days.
Thanks everyone!
